Language Points 语言要点?
1 . be on vacation 度假,go on vacation 去度假,working vacation 工作假期, during one's vacation 在假期期间。?

例如:?
When did you work in New York? 你什么时候在纽约工作的??
Five years ago. 5年前。?
When do you like to read? 你什么时候喜欢读书??
I like to read in the winter. 我喜欢在冬季读书。?
How long did you work in New York? 你在纽约工作多久??

3.“喜欢做某事”有两种表达法:“like+动名词(v-ing) like+不定式(to do sth.)”。例如:
I like reading very much. 我非常喜欢读书。?
I like to walk in the mountains. 我喜欢在山间散步。?
4.doctor 可以是“医生”,也可以是“博士”。只说 doctor,在英语中分不出是哪个,故马丁问是不是 medical doctor,是想问谁是不是医生。?
5.Georgia 在汉语中,根据不同国家译成两个名字,其实,是一个单词。碰巧,该地名在前苏联和美国都有,这种重名现象,导致了马丁问是美国的 Georgia,还是前苏联的 Georgia。
